“It’s Free and it’s Open Source”
The six word tagline that has no meaning, other than for nerds who don’t have a social life or rape women or mess around with little ones it seems like. It means nothing!
There is no such thing as a free lunch. In fact more recently, more open source projects are requesting for you to give away your contact information to sell you products. In the UC world, remember how so many were gushing over the free “Asterisk PBX“? This is the product I am talking about, specifically the fork known as Free PBX.
Linux is a broken system unlike the commercial world
- There are no “standards”
- There are 1,000 different flavors of “distros”
- The arrogance such as “Real men build their own drivers” and other derogatory culture of the open source world.
- The software’s lifecycle is just as similar as the commercial world
- There are more security holes, while it’s lesser with Windows, it is only second to the Mac
- The super obsessed “minimal” approach, does not work well with non engineers.
